Get Involved!
The D.C. Mic Check is a free, full-color newspaper, available in print and online. As the ideals of the Occupy movement spread throughout the greater community, citizens have taken to the streets to demand new forms of expression and communication. With millions now calling for change, traditional American media outlets have largely abandoned the voices of the oppressed. More than ever, there is a need for this kind of strong and independent press to enable communication among the local grassroots.
The D.C. Mic Check was commissioned by the General Assembly of Occupy DC at McPherson Square. Free from corporate advertisers, this paper is dedicated to covering all aspects of the movement for social and economic justice in the D.C. area. Our goal is to show readers that there is real hope for change in D.C. by highlighting what is being done and showing them how they can join the fight.
